The exact specs depend on what you're upgrading from.

The 1200W wasn't a necessity, it was just the cheapest option when I set the minimum to 1000W. I figured 1000W would be the minimum for a system like that to account for transient spikes. That being said, you're the second person to recommend an 850W PSU, so I may have to consider that.

3 1080p monitors, it will be stretched across all of them.

Budget (including currency): Technically $2000, but I would prefer to spend less than that.

I just want to know if there are any changes I should make to these systems. I would like it to stay within current gen, however I don't trust Ryzen right now and I'm not sure if the Intel CPU is powerful enough to handle that GPU.

That "Antimalware Executable" I've seen it before... do you have something called APC Pro on your computer? It's malware... Of course it could be a completely legitimate antivirus software, but check just incase. I'm going to feel like an idiot if I'm wrong. It wouldn't be the first time today lol

Unplug the monitor at night. It's just as easy to unplug that as it is to unplug the keyboard and mouse

Oh, my bad. Ok, well it doesn't matter because I managed to get a deal on the 3600. It ended up being cheaper to get that, surprisingly.

@SpookyCitrus read my last reply

I didn't know that. I feel like an idiot who doesn't know how to use a computer now.

No, just the page I'm on. Chromebooks have a button on the keyboard that refreshes the page your on. I like the convenience of this... that probably makes me lazy but idc

Is it possible to do this with iCue? I like it on my chromebook, and I'd like it on my desktop.

If your motherboard supports 3600MHz, then get that. You don't need 32 GBs of RAM unless you're doing some video editing or recording.

I'm getting 3600MHz, which has higher latency. But 3200MHz has lower latencies. 3600 - 18 3200 - 16 (I don't know the other numbers but from what I understand they're not as important)

I think what I'll do, thank you.

In my current computer, I have a 512GB SATA SSD, an I put everything on it. I used most of it up and so I put in a HDD as an expansion. The SSD was also my boot drive. I plan on using my new computer with just 1, 1TB, NVMe SSD. Are you saying that it was a waste to get one this large and I should use an HDD for my game library?

I am building a new computer, and it will be my main drive. It's 1TB, so I figured it should be my main drive. Is that a good idea?

Lol I already have it (it was a gift) and I do experience stutters but I never blamed it on my storage, more so on my DDR3 memory.

Yeah, I saw that. I wanted an extra opinion though.

Is there any practical benefit for a computer that I use primarily for gaming of NVMe vs SATA. Other than the install speed of games, I couldn't care less about that.

I didn't even realize you could get one with blue switches.

Corsair K63 Wireless. It's TKL, blue backlit, and right at $90. It comes with Cherry MX Reds.

If for some odd reason you need 64gb of RAM, it would probably just be easier to build a desktop. But just FYI, I have 32gb of RAM (I had that much lying around so I figured why not), and I never exceed 16gb of memory usage, even if I have a 100 chrome tabs open. You don't need so much memory.

There is a thread to make video suggestions for LTT. Here's a link: There is no guarantee that they will use it, but you can still try.

Keep the i9, that way you won't have to replace your CPU for several years to come. It's not worth the money, unless you need it for some reason outside of tech

Ryzen 5 3600 MSI Tomahawk B450 MAX G.Skill Aegis 16gb 3200 MSI RX 580 OC I'm aware that the BIOS on the mobo may need an update, looking for anything else that may cause compatibility issues.
